I'm quite disappointed with Versa for practicing swimming because the software is very poor to practice this activity (specially the App).

 

For example, I would like to have the following features on my Fitbit Versa for swimming:

- Let me decide if the HR is enabled or not when swimming. Tightening the band (one more notch) and using Smart Track gets a decent graph of my heart;

- Be able to access more statistics on the APP (Lap Partials, stroke count & rate, SWOLF, etc).

 

Please, implement it! I think you have a very good hardware, it's just a matter of investing more time in the software development for swimmers.

 

You also need to improve the support for other countries. It doesn't recognize that I live in Brazil and there's not possibility to change the language to Brazilian Portuguese and to use my Credit Card here.

Yeah!

 

The information you can get is rather sparse.

 

The summary at the end of a swim? Apperently gone afterwards.

 

The graph shown on the website? Useless.

Why should I care, that I burned more calories during minute 31 then 36, when I don't have the starts/ends of laps as perspective?

Do I maybee always start strong into my laps and end weak? Or is that spike in the middle of a lap? No clue. Nothing shown. Just a graph telling you, that you burned some calories at some point.

And those additional results at the bottom? What are they for anyway? +75 steps?! I SWAM... I did NOT walk, I didn't even touch the bottom of the pool with my tows... what are those steps for?

 

I do hope, that they will improve the information that is stored and displayed.

Frankly, right now I would be happy, if they srap this useless graph and show the summary instead. At least, I do get some usefull stuff out of that (like amount of laps and distance)
